Slicing complex models
-
Be sure to try "hidden geometry on" with such shapes and it may help show what is going on and where it needs to be cut etc.

I tried that Dave, I started with a square box and used the follow me tool, great, turned out just like I wanted, so I made a half wide rectangle, did the same thing with the follow me tool, only one face of the of the three, had the profile. I tried a couple of times, same result. That's when I started, looking in to cutting the full version in half. Also thanks to pbacot for the suggestion.
-
I'd like to see what you were trying to accomplish. I'll bet it can done.
-
I just tried it again, and realized what I did, one of those duh moments, I had my profile outline in the wrong place.
-
That's what I was wondering.
-
Now then how would I make a column with a sloped top?
-
Does this help? Or are you wanting only, say, a quarter of the column?
-
Dave beat me to the draw...
FollowMe on the profile around a square.
OR
Select the parts you want bigger on a premade column and use Scale + Ctrl to centralize the scaling-anchor and enlarge the top parts that way.
OR
... there are many ways, it depends what you you are starting with...
-
As far as the sloping top goes, in the picture I posted, it looks like they just shaved the top to fit the slope. I don't have a bigger picture to look at.
-
I didn't catch that the ceiling has a slope to it. I would draw the column as TIG or I have shown and then cut the top with a cutting plane and Intersect Faces.
-
That's what I did, then I made half columns, and corner columns. Actually doesn't look to bad.
